General Freight

Note: "General Freight" is a catch-all; the actual cargo mix and its risk may differ.

Estimated from the commodity types reported to FMCSA, not from loss history or the true cargo mix.

Expected crash rate is probably lower than similar fleets (about a 60% chance), but the record is too thin to say by how much.

Similar fleets: interstate fleets of 50–99 trucks with the same kind of operation, years in business and amount of road activity. Compared using its own crash record and roadside inspections.

Per truck, fleets like this one are expected to crash about 1.6× as often as the median active fleet of 50–99 trucks.

What's driving the grade
Crash history
betterworse
About typical. 8 crashes on the FMCSA record in 24 months (about 4 a year), including 1 with injuries; similar fleets have about 3.5 a year. The grade counts 11 crashes in its 36-month scoring window, recent ones weighted most.
Roadside inspections
betterworse
Mixed. Unsafe-driving and hours-of-service violations 1.53× the rate expected for its inspections, but out-of-service orders 0.67× and violations 0.75×. Together they barely move its crash estimate: roadside results weigh far less than crash history. It's inspected more often than most fleets its size.

Worth a closer look

From the FMCSA record. The grade already counts the safety items; insurance filings and links to other motor carriers are not in it.

  • Injury crashes
    1 crash with 2 people hurt in 24 months.
    Ask: claim status and driver history for these crashes.
  • Drivers put out of service
    2 out-of-service violations against drivers: 1 hours of service, 1 no valid CDL (Nov 2024 – Mar 2025).
    Ask: driver supervision and dispatch practices.
Strengths
  • Vehicle out-of-service rate 14.8% vs 22.3% national; driver 2.7% vs 6.7%.
  • No FMCSA BASIC alerts.
Data flags
  • Dangerous driving: 6
